Below is an event log excerpt from a recent attempt to run a work unit. I enrolled my PC a long time ago and I'm pretty sure not one work unit has ever completed successfully, unless they're supposed to run in under two minutes. So, different versions of Windows, different Nvidia hardware/driver versions, different security software. None of that seems to make any difference. I have been reading anything that seemed relevant on this forum and don't find anyone reporting this problem who actually found a solution. My PC does run asteroids@home GPU units without any issues. | |

unhide your system so we can properly look at the host details and the task errors. | |

The output file absent message likely means an antivirus app is restricting access to the task slots. | |

I corrected the hidden PC issue and updated the project, but I don't know where I can view that information. | |

After reviewing the tasks that are being processed and returned with what looks like a computation error, it seems that it only appears that they failed. This task(( https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=34275043 )) appears to have been successful. | |

Not much helpful information in stderr.txt output being this is a Windows host. | |

he's running the ATM tasks, which don't use much VRAM, not like the QChem tasks. so he's fine on VRAM. | |

Anybody having this error should try to capture run.log. I know of several ways to achieve that, unfortunately I'm one of the lucky (or unlucky in this case) users that never has this error on Windows. | |

It turns out I was wrong about one task completing. I clicked a link somewhere which showed the result of a different computer, not mine. When I click the properties button for the project in the BOINC manager there is a statistic; tasks completed: 0 - Tasks failed: 141. So, batting .1000 I guess. I have suspended for now. I'll watch this thread for a while, see if anyone suggests anything to try. | |

I'll watch this thread for a while, see if anyone suggests anything to try. I'll suggest to try this: 1) suspend all your projects 2) edit or create cc_config.xml in the main BOINC directory (probably C:\ProgramData\BOINC - but your config may vary) 3) set 'exit_after_finish' switch to 1: <cc_config> ...mandatory section, so add it if you're creating this from scratch <log_flags> ...this section may or may not be there - ignore it... </log_flags> <options> ...this section may or may not be there,if it's not: CREATE IT! <exit_after_finish>1</exit_after_finish> ...ignore all other flags that are already there </options> </cc_config> 4) save and close 5) in boinc manager, select menu "options"=>"read config files" or just restart the boinc SERVICE (not just the manager) 6) unsuspend GPUGRID, wait for an ATM unit to run and finish. BOINC will exit immediately after it finishes 7) in the 'slots' directory (probably C:\Windows\ProgramData\BOINC\slots) there should be one or more subdirectories 0, 1, 2 etc. Locate the one that contains the ATM workunit. Copy the "run.log" file to some personal directory. Look for errormessages at the end of this file and post them here 8) edit cc_config.xml and set the flag 'exit_after_finish=0' 9) restart BOINC | |
